Thanks linjbo. It's funny how individually we perceive color differently in our spaces. Breezygirl sees no yellow in her Simply White but does in Cloud White. I'm the total opposite. When it comes down to it, we have to trust our own eyes in our own spaces. It is what it is.

CKGM Wow - you must have thought I abandoned you! I was so busy at work(73 hours that week and I am salary :-( and didn't have access except via phone (I did have a mini comment above) I looked on my phone but somehow missed getting back to you on this lovely and inspirational kitchen. Loving it - I love your backsplash choice and grout now match very nicely with your counter. Your galley is going to be very functional - and you managed to build in a feature that I could not pull off - the little bar at the end of the kitchen with 2 stools. I am only allowing a few items on the counter - DH gets his coffee machine and grinder. We share the paper towels, and I have the banana holder and fruit/veggie double basket - unless I can find a better place for it - the pantry is too warm as the pipes go through the wall. When I finally post my pictures - we have more in common that just Grazia tile - we also have a garden window!! What is your wall color - it looks similar to ours!! And as you know, I am finally out of the ABB club!! A bit of a hijack Fun2learn - there are several places on the east coast that carry the Grazia tile - I did find it at Malsnee Tile near Reading PA (might have a Leesport address but essentially Reading) - Best Tile has numerous shops in the east coast but turned out to be cheaper to ship from Tile-Shop.com in California than from the East coast. I worked out a plan to have it delivered to the cabinet store, so shipping was much less.- I worked with Nelson (not TileShop.com) Nelson Chow Tileshop, Inc. 510-525-4312 Here is the info on Best Tile Laura Breindel Showroom Manager Best Tile Syracuse 315-437-1606 ext. 211 And Malsnee Tlle information- I worked with Rebecca and Jessica 1106 Stinson Drive Leesport, PA 19533 (610) 916-7621

All your colors are cool.. think warm colors are those of the sun.. orange, yellow, red and all variants. Woods are warm. Cool colors are those with blues and greens. The colors in between can go either direction-- like purples can lean cool (more blue) or lean warm (more red). I love all your colors-- but as I recently discovered, you need to try them out in your room. I think this is even more important with the lighter colors and those that are chameleons that change in the light. Also, you'll want to let them dry overnight. It's hard to suggest a color without knowing the room, the size, the function, what other elements (if any) do you need to work around (wood tones, rugs, textiles).. and what kind of feel you are going for. My recommendation would be very different for a casual cottage family room than it would be for an elegant dining room. It would help a lot if you have a photo to share---there are many here who have a great eye for design through color.

A rug with a pattern that has cool and warm tones will help tie everything together. You can also balance the warm and cool around the room with accessories and art.
